Steffi Graf
The German tennis player
was lean and mean,
Her big forehand came
in a steady stream,
Efficiency, speed,
and power no wonder she's a tower.
Gets by on wits
her sliced backhand
wouldn't quit how many titles will she collect,
time will tell when she forgets,
born for tennis she is and was good sportsmanship
will be her ultimate cause.
